  "summary": "India's wholesale price index (WPI)-based inflation surged to a series-high of 11.39% in September, driven by rising food, manufactured items, and fuel and power prices. The food index rose to 8.66% in September from 7.05% in August, while manufactured items saw wholesale inflation climb to a series-high of 9.76%. Inflation in the fuel and power basket also accelerated, reaching 25.85% in September against 22.93% in August. ICRA principal economist, Rahul Agrawal, attributed the surge to elevated global commodity inflation, while Barclays warned that wholesale and producer price inflation could accelerate due to elevated international energy and metal prices.",
